A horse died and two people were injured after a crash blocked part of State Highway 2 near Waihi this morning.

A spokesman said the horse died and was blocking one lane.

A farmer was organising a tractor to move it, he said.

A St John media spokeswoman said two people in moderate condition were assessed and treated at the scene.
